Questions & Answers about Po zebraniu chcę rozpakować karton z dokumentami i posprzątać biurko.

Why is it po zebraniu, not po zebranie?

Because the preposition po meaning after requires the locative case in Polish.

• nominative: zebranie = meeting
• locative: zebraniu = after/in the meeting context

So:

• po zebraniu = after the meeting

This is a fixed and very common pattern:

• po obiedzie = after lunch
• po pracy = after work
• po lekcji = after class

What exactly is zebranie? Is it the same as spotkanie?

Zebranie usually means a meeting, often a more formal or organized one, such as a staff meeting, office meeting, school meeting, or committee meeting.

Spotkanie is also meeting, but it is broader and can be formal or informal. It can also mean a social get-together.

So in an office sentence like this, zebranie sounds very natural if you mean an organized meeting.
